1. Allot stiffer chassis with the engine as a Semi Structural member
2. Centrally mounted larger 20 Gallon Fuel tank (lower Polar Moment of Inertia, and better protected form a Crash)
3. Better suspension setup, longer wishbones front and rear (more stable Roll Centres and better for a softer setup for road driving)
4. Less scrub radius to make the front suspension work better, and EPAS for low speed car parking etc
5. More room in the cabin, for larger seats (Wife requirement for more comfy wider seat), but also easier for seating/hand Brake/ Gear linkage clearance
6. Less pedals to steering offset, and better pedal ratios for easier braking and clutch depression
7. Access panels under front clip to get to pedal area without having to hang upside down in the cabin
8. Fuse panel that you don't have to unbolt to get to change a simple fuse
9. In-board suspension at the rear. Front in board for the Racing Version ( Yes there will be a track pack for those track day Customers )
10. Larger Ally radiator with more ducted air for those people who love Turbo charged Cars
11. Rear Canopy window ( Thanks gain to my Friend who did the original version of the window, just could not have that after seeing his car) which might now mean some limited rear vision though the rear bulkhead
12. Better engine bay cooling with ducted air now being forced in and out of the engine bay
13. A forced induction Scoop that's in a High pressure zone above the disturbed air rolling of the roof
14. A usefully Diffuser that starts at the engine to Gearbox adaptor
15. Wheel arch venting similar to that of the Segaris and most Modern day Le Mans cars
16. Positive pressure venting of the cabin, so you don't have to have the AC on when moving
17. Electrical Heated windscreen
18. No I said NO lowered floor pan to ruin the under car areo.... but still be able to seat a 6'5" male with a Helmet.....not banging his head on the roof or roll cage either
19. A rear clip that pivots at the roof not at the back, so even if you leave the rear clip unbolted it wont destroy the rear body work at 150mph Ah Simon !!!
20. The ability to run larger wheels for those among us with 20's in mind, or better still 19" with taller side walls for more traction and better road manors
21. Bigger and Lighter brakes ( Still working on this one, but is passable all depending on budget)
22. Billet machined up rights...
23. LSX Engines as standard, with Porsche Gearbox or Gearfox T900 as a Option ( Gearfox T900 are used in the Zonda and Konigzeg, and can be specked as a Sequential) The First car has 6 Speed H Pattern T900
and these more but I cant remember them all.....

Machining Billets...


and exhaust manufacture is simple now with CAD, just draw what you want with the Specs of material you know you can get, then the rest is done by the pro's all mandrel bent and then just assembled and Tig'd up ....
I am a Fully qualified Machine Tool Engineer so was building CNC machines 20 years ago, and know finally have my own......

Front suspension has been interesting, has caused a few design headaches but mainly because Its LHD... But if you can turn a Negative to a positive then that's worth it. The clutch master cylinder was in the way of moving the lower wishbone point further in (Making a longer wishbone, and a better more stable Rollcenter), but I didn't want to compromise on the front suspension Geo, so have designed a Rocker system for the Clutch master Cylinder... and now have a better pedal ratio and still have full stroke of cylinder because of it... turn a Neg to Pos.... Lighter Clutch....
